In the few months since this all began we haven't pushed, nor have we hidden, the need that faces us. God has already moved in mighty ways and many people have not waited for a special offering but have already generously given to the Roof Fund. In fact we have received about already.

       Perhaps you are wondering what we are going to do AFTER Sunday? The answer is simple. Regardless of the amount we receive, the Leadership of our church, the Deacons and Trustees, will meet on Wednesday night the 17th and bring a recommendation to the church on the 24th on how we should proceed. The church will meet on Wednesday night the 24th for our September Business Meeting and act on the report. AND WE ARE GOING TO RAISE THE ROOF at Belview.

      We are not going backward. The enemy has tried to distract us, discourage us, and defeat us. In the process of making plans for the roof we have faced a series of 'smaller issues'. The church's mower quit--REPAIRED. We had to totally replace and rewire the power line that feeds the Education Building--DONE. We got ready to baptize and the baptistry water heater wouldn't work--FIXED. A hole in the parking lot--FILLED. A noisy ceiling fan--REPLACED. And only God knows everything else He has done in lives that we will never know about this side of Heaven. By this time next month I plan to write, 'Installed the decking and replaced the roof-DONE'

     What are we going to do after this Sunday? We are going to finish the task. I have watched people sacrifice, I'm aware of others who have sacrificed without anyone knowing about it. I know some who have literally given the 'Widow's Mite'--all they had. AND I trust God that THIS Sunday will be a great day of Celebration and Victory, and most of all, a great day of Worship.  

     Our goal isn't just $50,000, our greater goal is to bring honor and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to world to see and hear just exactly what God has done, and what God is doing, through Belview Baptist Church.

     I trust God that you have PRAYED about what God would have you give. I trust God that you have PLANNED for the steps of obedience to His will. And I trust God that you are PREPARED to bring your gift and lay it before the Lord. Because:

                         "God is Good All the Time and All the Time God is Good" & "WORTHY THE LAMB" 

      

 

                                     Blessings Prayers and Love,
